Aangeboden een engelstalige brochure van de Hino Contessa 1300 Coupé uit 1966.


The Hino Comntessa 1300 designed by Michelotti had a powerful 1,251 cc four-cylinder engine with five main bearings. With a four-speed manual transmission, top speed is 130 km/h (81 mph). A handsome coupé version was presented in April 1965; the coupé benefitted from an upgraded engine with twin carburetors and slightly higher compression and 65 PS (48 kW; 64 hp) from November of the same year. With chassis code PD300/400 (versus PD100/200 for the regular sedan), this sporting version was marketed as the “1300S”. 100 and 300-series are right-hand drive, while 200 and 400-series are left-hand drive. 


The use of twin headlights does contribute to a mild similarity to the second generation Chevrolet Corvair, and the lack of a front grille because the Hino Contessa 1300 Michelotti and the Corvair are both rear engined and rear cooled (air for the Corvair, water for the Contessa). Early Standard versions did not receive bumper horns and were fitted with single front headlamps with blanks where the second set would have gone. Later on, the Standard (of which very few survive) received the same headlamps and bumpers as the De Luxe, albeit with painted rather than chromed bumpers. 


This generation of the Hino Contessa was also exported to Australia, Switzerland, and the Netherlands amongst others.
